My research over time

It has been a very long time since I reported in. The home planet has been getting reports from me about my students, Walter (PurrDar on the home planet), and my newest student, Sam. Sam has not revealed his Home Planet name yet, but it will come.

In the many months that have passed, I have taught Walter to hunt geckos and given him his assignment while on earth. He was but a young orange tabby when he came home, found at the shelter by Mother and Father. He somehow had gotten out from his original assignment, and came to us when he was adopted. He has developed into the Security Guard in this assignment, a task he takes seriously and fully. He is a nervous type, well suited for observation and recognisance in making sure that everything is a-okay. He is also very loving, and will make sure all our ears are clean.

My newest student is Sam. Sam was a very small kitten when Mother adopted him. Found in the streets of Houston by a friend of Mother's, he came to us and became part of the family. He looks a lot like Grandma Tara (for those of you from Mother's past, yes Tara is still with us), and he even thought that Grandma was his mother.

Living in Texas is very different than living in Indiana, where I am from. Grandma who is from Illinois understands this. However, the bugs are always alive, which makes for good hunting...but the weather is very different. It doesn't snow often here, it only has twice since I was moved here in 2004, when I was but a young Cat observer. When I mention the North to the younger ones, they think I am kidding...but they will be surprised when we move back to the part of the country that won what humans call the "Civil War". That is another interesting thing about the Country people who live here call Texas...they think they won the "whwar" which up North is pronouced "war". It is very different here in many way.

My job on this planet still is conducted via my what you call "eyebrow whiskers" we call them antenna. The home planet is very glad that I continue to give reports about what happens here, are pleased that I have two staff members to help with my duties, and are very pleased that Mother and Father love me so. (although I of course have them very well trained also)

One of the things I have noticed about humans is that many of them spend a lot of time working. Mother who is a manager at an important genealogy library, and Father who is a teacher always have work to do. It seems that Mother should take a lesson from me....be intellegent and get work done, but remember that what really matters is a loving head butt, and warm hug, a full food bowl and the family.

This is the way I live. I spend time watching the birds, watching and teaching the young grasshoppers PurrDar and Sam, making sure Grandma is okay, and being there when the garage door opens up and Mother walks in so I can tell her I love her.

I'm hoping Mother comes home early this week so I can go outside in our fenced in yard, feel the sun on my back, and have great adventures that I can report via this blog and to the Home Planet.

For now, I leave you with a rub against the leg and a wish for you...may your weekend be filled with a long nap in the window and treats. Enjoy!
